5.3.14 THISW KNEEED–FPECIA R PRLD U Upper CluthaAandPcelebrating77shows Seventy-sevenshowson, and still going strong... & P S H OWMARC H RD AY 8 T H S eventy-seven years of the Wanaka A and P Show will be celebrated at its spectacular lake-front location over the weekend of Friday 7 and Saturday 8 March, with the gates opening for two fun-filled and action packed days that are designed to have ‘something for everyone’. A popular fixture on the South Island’s event calendar, the Wanaka show attracts spectators and competitors from near and far to an event which is now firmly regarded as the second largest agricultural and pastoral show in the South Island. When the 2014 A and P Show opens, it will be the result of many meetings, many phone calls and emails and many hours of planning to bring the event together. While it’s hard to precisely define what makes an A and P Show so appealing to so many people, for some it is the opportunity to renew friendships and enjoy a day that is markedly different from the norm, while for others it is the varied entertainment, the competition, the opportunity to sample different food and wines, or to check out the wares available across the Trade exhibits that brings them along to enjoy the day. Whatever it is, the Wanaka A and P Show has proven it has the mix right for adults and children as the 77th show is equestrian section, a hotly contested dog trial and the ever popular Jack Russell race remain highlights of the annual event ‘ Boer Goats, sheep, alpacas and beef cattle compete for supremacy while a strong set to unfold. Fun, entertainment, music, socialising, retail therapy, competition, the Wanaka A and P Show definitely has it all. From the adult and children’s entertainment, through to the numerous Trade exhibitors which number around 420 this year, to the ultra-competitive Home Industry and livestock sections, there really is something for everyone: young or old, farmer or townie, local or visitor, spectator or competitor. While there has been many milestones achieved along the road to this 77th show, beginning with the first ever Upper Clutha A and P Show held in Cromwell back in 1895, before the location was moved to Wanaka in 1933, it is the traditional events, the friendly rivalry, the competitiveness, the family connections across many generations and the support given from across the community in a myriad of ways, which ensures this event is the continued success it is. Being able to experience the very best that the Upper Clutha Agricultural and Pastoral sector has to offer at the Wanaka A and P Show brings town and country together to enjoy a range of traditional and new events ensuring a great day out for friends and family CONTINUED Page 20 19 U THA A Y7TH & SATU
